Prosecutors say Ferguson has a violent criminal history. The hearing was scheduled as a pre-trial detention/dangerousness hearing, but the judge did not make a ruling on the dangerousness issue because Ferguson is being held on the probation violation.

"He's got a probation violation pending and there's a no-bond hold on the probation violation, so release really isn't an issue at this time," public defender Tom Clark said. "If for whatever reason the probation violation is resolved and the issue of release comes up again, then the state will re-litigate the issue of whether he's dangerous or not and want to keep in in jail."

Detention hearings for Pena and Nunez are scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. Prosecutors are also seeking them to be held without bond.
